| Obverse description | Armored and crowned effigy of King Gustav Vasa facing right, rendered in the bold relief characteristic of early Swedish Renaissance coinage. The royal bust occupies a central beaded or linear inner circle, with the full Latin legend and date disposed in the outer annular field. The armor detailing and crown form are consistent with the Bust type Ib classification, distinguishing this issue from related obverse varieties. The portrait conveys regal authority within the constraints of mid-sixteenth-century hammered die work. |
